"The Birds" lyrics

"The Birds"

What a release
From judgement
Back into the flock
Another mangey pigeon
Peckin' at the crumbs from the bums
Of George Square
Anonymous
As anonymous as no one

No, the birds don't care
What the birds have done
That this one's here
Or that one's gone

We all do things
That we wish we hadn't done
Thank you for accepting me
Despite what I have done

Whoo
Whoo

Is that what we want?
To be with
Others who know
Who understand
Who we are
Or what we've done
I say, "Fine!
What about it?
You've done time"
Oh yeah, the time's been done

We all do things
That we wish we hadn't done

No, the birds don't care
What the birds have done
Thank you for accepting me
Despite what I have done
Thank you for accepting me
The man that I've become

Alright
Yeah, whoo, wow, wow!
